Both types of aircraft were playing a stellar role in WoT. That was reason for strike against them. Now if RaW or any other intel agency had a role...well i would not be surprised. However, the claim that the Orions targeted were the ones modified for Harpoon ALCM launch, then that claim IMHO...

Thank you for sharing this long lost part of our history.

Brig. TM was not the founder of SSG's it was Maj. Gen. A.O. Mitha. Abbubakar Osman Mitha, a Memon from Bombay!! His memoir Unlikely Beginnings: A Soldier's Life, Fallacies & Realities. A must read for all fans of PA.

I have done numerous 10K cross country runs with standard LBE, weapon, & ammo about 60 lbs in all in one hour. It was a bitch!!! My hats off to the guy!!!

last two pics have a nosecone of Mirage III

The ship will most probably have a 30 mm in A position forward of the bridge. The empty position on top of the bridge is for a domed radar IMHO. There would be one Phalanx/Turk CIWS Station on the starboard side behind the smoke stack. The missile canisters x 8 would be mid-ship in-between the...

check out the Pakistani map on the board specially the south eastern boundaries

It still remains the most beautiful fighter aircraft ever produced!!!!

I wonder what happened to the deal where were about to get block 70++ and upgrade of all our F-16's??? Anyone?

My spin on the Bravo version, the same role that two seater mirages were doing. After all these aircraft are going to replace both the F-7's and the various versions of Mirages. The two seater Mirage has a specific role to play in strategic strike capability of PAF.

Yes true Orion is an LRMP platform.

this and many other such stories are good material for **** war movies! A nation who does not remember its heroes is destined to fade away as well.

In the next round of re-certifications, these FOB's will be included.

If i remember it correctly, 2 Orions were written off in the PNS Mehran Raid. Then count of Maritime Patrol A/C is back up to 9 with the addition of 2 ATR's to the Orion Fleet.

China is already an option and a lot of things are being worked upon with China. With Turkey the evolution of their product line follows the western genres. While that of Chinese products have mostly Russian genres.

A lot of commonalty can be achieved between Turkey and Pakistan in: MBT --- Pakistan is searching around for a tank to add to its ageing fleet. Buy into the Altay program and leverage economies of scale and modify the design to suit our conditions. AFV --- PA still lacks a true AFV. Again...

The enemy had the Mig -21, a mach 2 fighter just like our F-104. And I believe they more Mach 2 a/c in inventory than PAF in 65'

I believe these are copies of Luda class destroyers and really old and based upon Chinese Tech of the mid to late sixties.

Sadly very few on this forum understand this. Turkey with foresight cultivated relationships, over decades, with key Western Governments and suppliers, leveraging its pivotal position in NATO. Now it is bearing fruits of what was started decades ago. Today, most of what Turkey is producing or...

My friend both Jalalat & Shuja'at are 24 Knots boats that hardly classify as fast attack crafts. Both are, I believe, over 20 years old. Use the dual purpose Harbah as the weapon of choice and build a platform around that can be truly classified as an FAC for littoral defense using CODOG as...
